Comparison of Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, AZ vaccines for neutralization titer, against Delta and other variants

Is one COVID vaccine better than the other? Four current vaccines — Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca — are highly effective against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but a new medRxiv* study suggests the level of protection varies.

Moderna vaccine reduced viral load and protected against SARS-CoV-2 variants in new phase 3 trial

Coronavirus research has shown that higher viral loads are associated with severe COVID-19 infection. But new results from the phase III Coronavirus Efficacy (COVE) clinical trial find the Moderna vaccine reduces severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral load and viral shedding.

Pediatric transplant recipients mount a more robust immune response after two COVID-19 vaccine doses

In a study published today in the American Journal of Transplantation, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say that children between the ages of 12 and 18 who have received solid organ transplants appear to mount a more robust immune response than their adult counterparts after a standard two-dose vaccination regimen against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Drought may affect child vaccination coverage in Africa, study finds

A new study published September 28 in PLOS Medicine found that drought may hinder child vaccination coverage in Africa.

Government sets additional funding for infection prevention and control in social care settings

People who receive care and the adult social care workforce will be further protected from COVID-19 and flu over the coming months, as the government sets additional funding for infection prevention and control.

Covid is killing rural Americans at twice the rate of urbanites

Rural Americans are dying of covid at more than twice the rate of their urban counterparts — a divide that health experts say is likely to widen as access to medical care shrinks for a population that tends to be older, sicker, heavier, poorer and less vaccinated.

SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antigen as a possible COVID-19 severity marker

French researchers used a highly sensitive and specific nucleocapsid-Ag assay to explore the relationship between N-Ag in urine during COVID-19 and the severity of the disease in hospitalized patients.

The applications of nanomaterials against viral disease

The application of nanomaterials in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of viral diseases is reviewed in detail, highlighting areas of significant progress or stagnation from the past few decades.

Diverse vaccine attitudes amongst UK healthcare workers suggest hesitancy may remain after vaccine acceptance

In a recent paper, the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy is further explored amongst UK healthcare workers.

SARS-CoV-2 infection aided by antibody-dependent enhancement

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has raised concerns about the detrimental effects of antibodies. Antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of infection is one of the biggest concerns in terms of not only the antibody reaction to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) upon reinfection with the virus but also the reaction to COVID-19 vaccines.
